Observation sur la soumission aux autorités compétentes (CEACR) - adoptée 2023, publiée 112ème session CIT (2024)

Angola

Serious failure to submit. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government indicating that the 19 pending instruments were transmitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 29 May 2023. The Government further indicates that the instruments were discussed with the social partners in the framework of the tripartite National Commission of the International Labour Organization. However, no information has been received regarding the submission of those instruments to the National Assembly. In this regard, the Committee recalls that the constitutional obligation of submission is of the highest importance and is a fundamental element of the standards system of the ILO. The Committee therefore once again reiterates its request that the Government provide the information required under article 19 of the ILO Constitution on the 19 instruments pending submission to the National Assembly. These are: the Protection of Workers’ Claims (Employer’s Insolvency) Recommendation, 1992 (No. 180), adopted by the Conference at its 79th Session; the Protocol of 1995 to the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947, adopted by the Conference at its 82nd Session; and the instruments adopted at the 86th, 91st, 92nd, 94th, 95th, 99th, 100th, 101st, 103rd, 104th, 106th and 108th Sessions of the Conference (2003–19).

The Committee once again recalls that the Government may request the technical assistance of the Office, if it so wishes, to assist it in achieving compliance with its obligations under article 19 of the Constitution with respect to the submission to the competent authorities of the instruments adopted by the Conference.
